MLK daughter: Firing not best for weatherman who used slur

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. says an upstate New York TV meteorologist who uttered a racial slur while saying her father's name shouldn't have been fired.

Bernice King says on TMZ Thursday there should be repercussions for WHEC's Jeremy Kappell for apparently referring to a park in his weather report as "Martin Luther Coon King Jr. Park." But she says bias training or demotion might be better in this case.
